Clint Ehrlich (born September 20, 1989) is an American lawyer, computer scientist, and foreign-policy analyst, known for advocating realism towards Russia.[1][2][3][4]
Ehrlich has been called Tucker Carlson's "Russia expert," due to his frequent appearances on the host's show on Fox News.[2][5][6][7][8][9][10][4][11] He was a Visiting Researcher inside Russia's Foreign Ministry at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations.[4][3]
He and his father, Jeffrey Ehrlich, are also known for exonerating Sgt. Raymond Lee Jennings, an Iraq War veteran who served 11 years of a life sentence for murdering teenager Michelle O'Keefe.[12][13][14][15][16]
Education and legal career
Ehrlich has called himself an autodidact.[16] He was ranked among the nation's top high-school debaters in 2007.[17] After dropping out of high school, he researched missile defense at the Claremont Institute.[18]
Ehrlich worked as a debate coach for Damien High School, where he won the U.S. national championship in policy debate.[17] He later operated a nutritional supplements company.[18]
Ehrlich studied law by working as an apprentice for his father.[19] While he was still a law student, he spearheaded the exoneration of Sgt. Raymond Lee Jennings in the murder of Michelle O'Keefe.[12][18][13] He went on to develop a law practice focusing on high-stakes civil litigation.[20]
Foreign-policy analyst
According to Foreign Policy, Ehrlich was embedded at the highest levels of Russia's national-security brain trust.[4][3] He was reportedly the only Western academic inside the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, which is operated by Russia's foreign ministry.[4][3][2][21]
While in Russia, Ehrlich founded a fact-checking website that defended Donald Trump.[21] Ehrlich has been accused of being "pro-Putin."[1][18][5] He has been critical of NATO and supports a negotiated settlement of the Russo-Ukrainian war.[1] He has argued that U.S. military aid to Ukraine endangers the lives of the American people and risks a third world war.[22][23][24][25] He has also claimed that sanctions against Russia are ineffective and may backfire by turning the Russian people against the West.[26]
Computer scientist
Ehrlich received a $225,000 grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation to develop computer protocols with asymmetric resistance to Sybil attacks.[27][28][29] His work focused on adapting techniques from biological signaling theory to computer science and the problem of Byzantine consensus.[30][31]
Ehrlich holds a U.S. patent for cryptographic protocols involving the integration of fiat money and cryptocurrency.[32] According to the NSF, the technology could enhance the security of financial transactions.[27] Ehrlich has said the technology is the digital equivalent of taping gold coins to paper money.[29]
